Chapter 7

In the huge practice field, black and red racing cars whizzed past in circles, bringing up strong winds. A woman in a gray dress stared at the big screen with her eyes fixed and a serious expression.

Her back was straight and she was wearing huge black sunglasses. All her emotions were hidden behind the glasses and no one could see clearly.

It was not until the time appeared on the electronic screen that she slightly curled the corners of her lips, indicating that she was in a good mood, because her son had just broken her own record.

She is Fang Xianze's mother and agent, Linda Fang, whose Chinese name is Fang Yaozhen.

They have won the championship for two consecutive competitions, and many well-known brands have come to seek cooperation. In this arena, the results speak for themselves.

The racing car stopped steadily in front of Fang Yaozhen, interrupting her thoughts.

Fang Xianze took off his helmet, his forehead was already wet with sweat, but he was in a good mood and in excellent shape today, so breaking the record was a natural thing.

"Xian Ze, keep up this form in next week's competition and you will definitely win first place again." Fang Yaozhen handed Fang Xian Ze his own water cup and smiled with satisfaction.

"I know. I will try my best and won't let you down." Fang Xianze took a big gulp of water and combed his hair with his hands. He was sweating all over and wanted to take a shower.

"By the way, how's the endorsement negotiation for the Dancer show going?" Fang Xianze had already walked several meters away when he suddenly turned around and asked.

Fang Yaozhen was a little surprised that he would ask about this, but then she thought that her son usually likes to watch this program and he must be quite interested in endorsing the program.

"I checked and found that this company has little experience and is average in strength. When I asked them about the salary, they were hesitant and it doesn't seem like they can afford the endorsement fee. We don't need to rush and just wait and see what they say." Fang Yaozhen explained patiently.

"The most urgent thing is to win the championship this season, so that we can be qualified to compete for the global spokesperson for the Dawn & Dark game."

She gave serious instructions and once again emphasized to Fang Xianze the importance of the competition.

Li An's overseas spokesperson was exposed in a domestic violence scandal some time ago, and the products he endorsed were also boycotted by many netizens. Naturally, Li An was also affected.

I heard that the Dawn Group wants to replace this spokesperson and is looking for new people. This is a good opportunity for them.

Fang Yaozhen doesn't care about the dancer's style. In her opinion, it is just a small and insignificant program. What she really wants is to become the global spokesperson for Dawn and Dark. This comes with a generous endorsement fee and is also the best opportunity to increase her popularity at home and abroad.

Fang Xianze didn't know what his mother was thinking. He loved playing "Dawn and Darkness" and watching "Dancing Style". He thought that if he could get both endorsements, it would be perfect.

"Mom, your son won't embarrass you, so relax." Fang Xianze smiled, his handsome face full of vigor and vitality.

Since Rong Susu knew that Zhang Zhihe was doing something under her nose, she couldn't just sit back and watch. Otherwise, she might as well change the company's name to Zhang.

She watched from the sidelines for two days and was satisfied when she saw Huang Yingying take the initiative to show goodwill to Zhang Zhihe. After all, Huang Yingying had the attitude of taking the initiative to solve the problem. However, for some reason, the two of them had another conflict.

The PR and Finance departments had been at loggerheads lately, with employees already arguing several times, severely impacting work efficiency. She couldn't let this continue, so she decided to talk to Huang Yingying first.

Unexpectedly, this time Huang Yingying stopped hesitating and directly pointed out that their work was being made difficult by the Finance Department.

"Director Zhang has repeatedly targeted our PR department due to personal grudges, preventing us from carrying out much of our work."

"I called you here so that you can tell the truth."

Rong Susu looked directly at Huang Yingying, her exquisite makeup was impeccable, and her hairstyle was newly done this morning. The big waves made her look both charming and mature.

In fact, she is not the standard weak beauty. On the contrary, there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. Especially after working in the workplace for more than half a year, her momentum has become more and more fierce. When she is not smiling, she has a sense of majesty without anger. After the divorce, she put all her energy into her career, and her subordinates are a little scared.

Huang Yingying came from the Dawn Group. She was familiar with Cheng Huaian's style. In a sense, she felt that Rong Susu and Cheng Huaian were of the same type.

Decisive and ruthless, resolute and swift, and interests come first.

If this couple had joined forces in the business world, they would have been a perfect match, but unexpectedly, they were attracted to each other and now have become competitors.

She knew Rong Susu must be holding her breath, determined to teach Cheng Huaian a lesson, so this time they had to succeed and not fail. But internal unity was the key to victory. If someone held them back and denied them food and supplies, then even the highest morale would be in vain.

"Mr. Rong, since you asked me, I'll tell you the truth. Our department's expenses haven't been reported for almost two months, and everyone is very dissatisfied."

Huang Yingying simply said that if Rong Susu was on Zhang Zhihe's side, she knew it in her heart, so she would just take it easy.

If Rong Susu is on her side, then she will go through fire and water for her. She left the Dawn Group with a strong will and wanted to achieve some results to show her old employer.

"I signed it, but he still won't report it to you? Is he refusing to report to just one department, or to all departments?"

Rong Susu frowned and couldn't help but raise her voice. Huang Yingying's statement was almost the same as what she heard from Meng Jiahao.

The reimbursement forms signed by her in the public relations department alone amount to two or three hundred thousand yuan, and no reports have been received for two months. Is she going to let the employees advance the money themselves and work while they starve?

"You signed, but Director Zhang didn't." Huang Yingying smiled helplessly and explained that they had made a budget for Fang Xianze, but Zhang Zhihe had not approved it, saying that there was no money, so she could not give the other party a quote.

Relying on his seniority, he really wants to be the emperor. When Rong Susu is angry, her lips will be pressed into a straight line, which is somewhat similar to Cheng Huaian's habit. It seems that someone doesn't take her seriously.

Just as the whole company was waiting to see who would win the battle between the Public Relations Department and the Finance Department, a big news spread throughout the company in less than a few minutes.

Financial Director Zhang Zhihe was scolded by General Rong.

It wasn't just a little scolding, it was a loud scolding. I heard that even cups were thrown in the hospital. When Zhang Zhihe came out, his face was pale. He was bald and fat, and looked like a steamed bun made of leavened dough.

After leaving the general manager's office, he was still nodding and bowing to apologize, his shirt soaked with cold sweat.

He is also a veteran of the company, second only to the top executive, and has never been slapped in the face like this before.

Now she was scolded so badly that she was humiliated and not given any face at all. It was obvious that Rong Susu had been hurt.

"If you want to work, then be honest. If you don't want to work, then get out. You're acting like a bully right under my nose. I think you really think this company belongs to your family!"

"Do you think you can find a decent job after you leave here with your abilities? I'm telling you, it's either delivering food or driving a taxi. Do you think you can make a living by your talent or your looks?"

"Deduct half a year's performance bonus and give it to the PR department as interest! If you do it again, you'll be fired!"

Rong Susu was still not satisfied, and she fully displayed her sharp tongue when arguing with Cheng Huaian. Even after Zhang Zhihe ran away, she was still cursing.

According to people familiar with the matter, Zhang Zhihe was smiling before he went in, but was pissing and running away when he came out.

The director’s half-year performance bonus, wow, that’s really not a small amount.

The happiest people today are definitely everyone in the public relations department. There are more than a dozen people in their department, including Huang Yingying. Each of them has advanced fees ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan. Now, not only will the money be deposited immediately, but there will also be bonus compensation.

In the afternoon, Zhang Zhihe personally came over with milk tea and coffee to apologize. Thinking of his previous arrogant attitude, everyone had been bullied by him, and now everyone was in a very good mood.

"Boss Huang, colleagues, all the mistakes are my fault. Please forgive me for my mistakes."

Zhang Zhihe nodded and bowed, like a big shrimp, and apologized to each one of them.

"Everyone, come and see! That stingy Mr. Zhang has also started plucking his feathers."

Meng Jiahao is a hot-tempered person. She has long disliked Zhang Zhihe and would mock him whenever she got the chance.

"Manager Meng, I really lost my mind. I want to sincerely apologize to everyone!"

Zhang Zhihe was smiling nonchalantly, and if you didn't know him, you would think he was the second party of some project of the company, as his attitude was so humble.

"Director Huang, your record!"

Zhang Zhihe also specially brought back the record that Huang Yingying gave him and packaged it carefully, as if returning it to Zhao in good condition.

He is a veteran of the company and originally thought he would be promoted to vice president this year, but now it seems there is no chance at all.

Rong Susu relied on the business department to vent her anger. People with discerning eyes could see that she was also confused. Why did she believe the words of outsiders and offend her boss for no reason? She really lost more than she gained.

"Director Zhang, since I'm giving it to you, it's yours. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future." Huang Yingying said with her head held high and her chest puffed out, neither humble nor arrogant.

This time, Rong Susu was on her side. Such a big fuss also showed that she was supporting the public relations department. So they naturally had to be grateful and not let down President Rong's kindness.

After being scolded for a long time in the general manager's office just now, Zhang Zhihe also got some useful information, which was also a reminder to himself.

Rong Susu only knew that he was holding up the public relations department's budget, and she probably didn't know anything else.

After all, they only deducted his bonus and did not demote him. But it's really painful to think that he lost more than 200,000 yuan in bonus just like that. It can be said that he learned a lesson.

"Brother, you really screwed me this time."

After comforting the people in the public relations department, Zhang Zhihe returned to his office, took a few tissues to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a short break, he took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to someone named "Qi Liu Hai Er".

After a while, Qi Liuhai replied.

"Brother Zhang, I'll book a private room tomorrow night to make amends for you."
